Fight for spiritual freedom
For we in India who are enthusiasts for liberty, fight not for any selfish lure, for no material freedom, for no mere economic predominance, but for our national right to that large freedom and noble life without which no spiritual emancipation is possible; for it is not among an enslaved, degraded and perishing people that the Rishis and great spirits can long continue to be born. And since the spiritual life of India is the first necessity of the world's future, we fight not only for our own political and spiritual freedom but for the spiritual emancipation of the human race.
Sri Aurobindo, Bande Mataram, July 25, 1907
